Installation

Install the latest version of the app for your device on the bottom of this page.

Basic usage

The actions are triggered by sending an intent to the service. From there, the commands are executed with system-level permissions. Depending on the commands you want to run you’ll have to add permissions to your app’s manifest file.

See below for possible commands you can use.

// Power down the device. Requires com.handheldgroup.shutdown.SHUTDOWN permission
public void shutdown() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.handheldgroup.shutdown.SHUTDOWN");
intent.setPackage("com.handheldgroup.shutdown");
startService(intent);
}

// Reboot the device. Requires com.handheldgroup.shutdown.SHUTDOWN permission
public void reboot() {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("com.handheldgroup.shutdown.SHUTDOWN");
intent.setPackage("com.handheldgroup.shutdown");
intent.putExtra("reboot", true);
startService(intent);
}
